Pipi-Cucu, Buenos Aires

Pipi-Cucu—meaning 'flawless', 'gorgeous' in local speak—serves up thoughtful French-influenced cuisine, in a delightfully quirky setting, that attracts droves of sophisticated hipsters. Choose stuffed squid, pink salmon tartar with avocado, or an arugula-raspberry-braised pear salad, from the handwritten chalkboard menu. The Supertop, the Pineapple Martini, and El Diamante—a tasty cocktail of Cointreau, ruby red vodka, and grapefruit juice, that goes down smoothly—are some of the better mixed drinks in the mostly residential Belgrano neighborhood.
